The technically correct (the best kind of correct) answer to the question is 1 since 26, 32, 29, and 28 are all whole numbers and, as fractions, would all have a denominator of 1.

If you mean something like "what is the LCD of 1/26, 1/32, 1/29, and 1/28 ?" then:

26 = 2 * 13

32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

29 = 29

28 = 2 * 2 * 7

It's like we're making a parts list with enough parts to make 26, 32, 29, or 28.  In this case our parts list is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 7 * 13 * 29 because that list has enough parts to make 26, 32, 29, 28.

2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 7 * 13 * 29 = 84448

Answer:  The LCD is 84448.
